Notes

Using notebooks is the perfect way to remember your thoughts. Get inspired by the famous author Paul Auster (the husband of Siri Hustvedt starring Stella No. 2). 

He explains his writing habits right here

"I do have a few unusual writing habits—I'm a dinosaur now. I write everything by hand and type it up on an old manual typewriter, an Olympia 1961 ... I've never been able to compose on a keyboard. I need a pen or a pencil in my hand, feel that it's a very physical activity. When I write, words are literally coming out of my body." Paul Auster

Furthermore these notebooks are so beautiful you almost can't get enough.

Tracey Emin at Hayward Gallery

The Bristish artist Tracey Emin has a major exhibition this summer at Hayward Gallery in London called `Love is what you want´. It is very much worth going if you are in London!


The exhibition covers every period of her career and features painting, drawing, photography, textiles, video and sculpture, in works that are by turns tough, romantic, desperate, angry, funny and full of longing. 


Since the early 1990s Tracey Emin has used her own life as the starting point for her art, exposing the most harrowing and intimate details of her personal history. Sometimes confrontational or sexually provocative, her work resonates with the 'personal political' legacy of feminist art while at the same time speaking to relationships in general. Disarmingly frank and yet often profoundly private, much of Emin's art - as this show makes clear - is also animated by her playful and ironic wit.

View this little film The Southbank Centre made about the exhibition.
